CORE 112 Engaged Reflections on Social Justice
The Engaged Reflections on Social Justice (ERSJ) required component of the MSI program links academic content to diversity dialogue frameworks to help students cultivate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with effective classroom engagement, socially responsible leadership, community and cohort development, and conflict resolution while also promoting practices of self and community care. The ERSJs serve as an important foundation for students to understand power and their relationship to the systems that undergird injustice and disparate outcomes. Self-awareness, awareness of others, and defining leadership for social change are the three primary themes that will connect the various topics we will cover in the seminar. Only open to first-year students.
